Dover has an even bigger hit with Aaron Neville's Tell It Like It Is (Par Lo, owned by musicians George Davis and Red Tyler with teacher Warren Parker) at No. 2 pop at the start of 1967. The problems in handling this huge record, caused mainly by distributor non-payments, start to unravel the Dover group. Much recording activity at the Cosimo studios in the wake of Aaron Neville hit but little chart action apart from minor records by Lee Dorsey (Amy), Betty Harris (Sansu) and Robert Parker (Nola).

Young producer Isaac Bolden has local hit with Tony Owens (Soul Sound).- John Broven
